Google is making it mandatory to have Play Services for its next-generation reCAPTCHA system on Android.
-
Your phone will need to be running Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater when the system asks you to scan a QR code for verification.
-
This hurdle means that de-Googled phones will fail the verification test by default.


I’ve scanned 4 QR codes in my life. 2 were not what I was told they would be.
I will never scan a QR code again.
I scanned a QR code once. I got JSON data back, with embedded links and other useless metadata.
Better use the self-checkout while you still can!
